Fiji (IOTA) activations

A group of five Ukrainian radio amateurs will be activating two IOTA groups between late April and early May.

Operators mentioned are: Len UR3HR, Sergey UR7HTX, Max UR7HTZ (3D2TZ), Alex UT5UY (3D2UY) and Alex UX0LL (3D2AP).

Their activity will start from Taveuni Island (OC-016), using the callsign 3D2AP, 3D2TZ and 3D2UY between April 27th and May 3rd.

The team will then move to one of the "Most Wanted IOTA
and Most Wanted Fijian IOTA Group (only 7.8% IOTA Chasers are credited) and activate Yanuca Island in the Ringgold Isles Group (OC-189) as 3D2RI (suffix RI=Ringgold Isles) between May 3-7th.

The group plans to have 2-3 well equipped stations active and operating simultaneously using YAGI antennas. There will be a special effort on the lower bands.

QSLs for 3D2RI are via UR3HR, by the bureau or direct to: LEONID BABICH, P.O. BOX 55, POLTAVA, 36000, UKRAINE. QSL cards for personal activity from Taveuni Island should be sent direct to home callsign or through the bureau (QSL 3D2UY via UT5UY, 3D2AP via UX0LL and 3D2TZ via UR7HTZ).

Due to the high cost of this operation on a remote Pacific Island, the group is asking for sponsorship by various DX organizations and individuals around the world.

If you would like to help fund or sponsor their DXpedition, please contact Alex, UT5UY, by E-mail at: ut5uy@ukr.net
